It matches OEM part number 300-203712001 and fits the same physical bay with the same connector orientation. Capacity is 1000mAh (3.7Wh), identical to the factory specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eF8T051 series compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The F8T051, F8T051-DL, and F8T051DL share the same battery bay dimensions (57.50 × 35.51 × 7.45mm), connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol — all three units accept this cell without modification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on the F8T051 platform. The BMS accepted the cell without fault codes, and charge termination triggered cleanly at full voltage with no overcharge condition detected.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCold-start satellite acquisition after swap:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After fitting this cell, power the device on outdoors before first navigation use. A full power interruption clears the GPS receiver's ephemeris data, triggering a cold start — allow 5–10 minutes for first satellite fix in open sky before relying on the unit for routing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eGPS battery draining faster on active navigation than standby\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe F8T051 draws significantly more current during active turn-by-turn navigation than in standby or map-browsing mode. The GPS receiver, display backlight, and processor all run at higher load simultaneously when routing is active. At 1000mAh, this cell matches the original capacity — but if your unit sat unused for months, the old cell likely had permanent capacity fade that made standby seem fine while active navigation exposed the real deficit. Reducing display brightness during navigation is the single most effective way to extend use between charges on this platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eF8T051 shutting off without low-battery warning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe F8T051's battery indicator is calibrated against the original cell's discharge curve. After a battery swap, the unit may not accurately read the new cell's state of charge until it completes one or two full discharge cycles. This means the on-screen indicator can show two bars and then cut to shutdown with no intermediate warning. Run the device through two full charge-to-cutoff cycles — the BMS recalibrates its voltage-to-percentage mapping, and the low-battery alert will trigger reliably above the 3.4V cutoff threshold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43377713578074,"sku":"BWCS-GR033SL-1","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43377713610842,"sku":"BWCS-GR033SL-2","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43377713643610,"sku":"BWCS-GR033SL-3","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-GR033SL-1.webp?v=1778771839","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/belkin-f8t051-replacement-battery-37v-1000mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
